Strategy Presets

Presets are named configurations that enable a specific combination of leg types for a given bot. All identifiers on this page match the canonical keys in packages/shared/src/strategy-presets.ts (STRATEGY_PRESETS).


Preset lower_short upper_short upper_long lower_long Status
lower_protection Enabled Disabled Disabled Disabled Live
full_short_protection Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled Live

Enables only the lower_short leg. Bastion protects against downside price exits (price falls below P_lower). The upper_short reentry leg is inactive.

Use case: You want protection against a downside exit only and do not want to hold a short position at reentry.

Enables both the lower_short and upper_short legs. Bastion protects against both a downside exit and maintains a short position until price re-enters above P_upper.

Use case: Full protection — you want a short position open both when price exits below and when it re-enters from above.


Preset lower_short upper_short upper_long lower_long Status
bullish_breakout Disabled Disabled Enabled Disabled Live
bearish_breakout Enabled Disabled Disabled Disabled Beta / Pending
bidirectional_breakout Enabled Disabled Enabled Disabled Beta / Pending

Enables the upper_long leg. Opens a long futures position when price breaks above P_upper. The only live Vanguard preset.

Preset lower_short upper_short upper_long lower_long Status
orbit_long_only Disabled Disabled Disabled Enabled Live
orbit_short_only Disabled Enabled Disabled Disabled Live
orbit_both Disabled Enabled Disabled Enabled Live

Enables the lower_long leg. Orbit monitors for a LONG mean-reversion entry from the lower range edge (interior trigger).

Use case: You expect price to stay above the lower edge and revert upward when it dips toward P_lower.

Enables the upper_short leg. Orbit monitors for a SHORT mean-reversion entry from the upper range edge (interior trigger).

Use case: You expect price to stay below the upper edge and revert downward when it rises toward P_upper.

Enables both lower_long and upper_short legs. Orbit monitors for mean-reversion entries from both range edges simultaneously.

Use case: You expect mean-reversion in either direction and want Orbit to trade both edges.
